Mike Monte fished the Belmar area this morning and didn t catch a thing though there was intense bird action offshore. He later got a call about what was going on in the Brick Beach area and down into IBSP and got worn out this afternoon catching 25-35-inch bass on swimmers and metal.
Posted on December 27, 2021 Tuesday s Weather looks good At year s end it s a real gift to get a comfortable day at sea, but Tuesday may be one with a forecast of west winds at 10-15 knots. Didn t, then wind against tide made it very tough.

Then he got word of an angler who was fishing Sandy Hook when it exploded with larger bass from 24 to 34 inches on peanut bunkers which produced 10 bass for him.
